Arnaudville’s Bayou Teche Brewing has a new tequila-flavored beer. That’s why it’s throwing a party Saturday, and everyone is invited.

Karlos Knott with the brewery said Teche Hombres is the latest in a line of limited edition products.

“We have 13 beers we brew all year long and then we produce four or five innovative beers throughout the year,” Knott said.

The free release party for the new Belgian-style Cerveza beer will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the brewery, located at 1094 Bushville Hwy. in Arnaudville.

Knott said the party will feature the new beer and also a performance by “Dos Hombres” from 3 to 6 p.m. and plenty of food.

Dos Hombres is made up of Diego Martin-Perez of the Choupique High Rollers and Chris Segura of Feufollet.

“This will bring together Hispanic and Cajun music. Both are famous musicians here in Acadiana,” Knott said.

The Cajun Flavor Cooking Food Truck will be onsite with fish tacos and other dishes designed to complement Bayou Teche’s new beer.

“They will have a good selection of food, but you really need to taste our new beer with their fish tacos,” Knott said.

He said the new Teche Hombres beer is a very limited production run and will only be available at the brewery.

“We will release a few cases to some of our better customers, but primarily it will only be available in our tap room,” Knott said.

He said that because the brewery was included on Louisiana’s new beer trail, the tap room is seeing a lot of business. “We usually have 100 visitors or more on most Saturdays,” Knott said.

The new beer is a Belgian-style wheat ale brewed with organic agave nectar — the main ingredient in tequila.

“It began almost as a joke,” Knott said. “It combines two different brewing styles from two different cultures. It was a test batch but it worked out really well. It is now one of my favorites.”

He said after fermentation, the beer is racked into French white wine barrels and aged for many months. The beer is then finished with Spanish orange peel and Peruvian Aji Limon peppers grown by Primo Peppers in Lafayette.

He said the final product melds Belgian and Mexican flavors and is fairly complex, but is also immensely drinkable.
